What's in Store for Twenty-Four?: J.D. Martinez

[Edgy MD]

You were asked to just decide, and whatever you decided, the Mets decided on me. And whatever dubious choices and offensive instagram posts I've made along the way, I've been a consistent hitter from year to year, I'm only in the fray for a single season, an a large chunk of what I'll be drawing won't be for over another decade, when a million bucks will be a the cost of a video rental.

The main cost will be the roster spot, and that's not nothing, but the Dodgers didn't think I was worth a roster spot, and the guy they gave my spot to now has a big ol' gamblin' cloud hanging over his head. All that's hanging over my head is the curiosity of not knowing how you think my 2024 is going to go.

PhotoShoppers, do your stuff.

His five-year average:

27 HR, 88 RBI, .289 BA

Three-year:

26 HR, 88 RBI, .278 BA

So, I'll assume about 28 home runs and 88 RBI, with maybe a .270 average.

33 HR, 101 RBI and .270 BA -- in 132 G

All un-deferred in 2024!

What's not in store is Martinez joining the team in Atlanta, DiComo first

Meanwhile, Vientos is hitting well in AAA. Please tell me why he didn't stay with the Mets pending JDM's arrival. Instead, they kept DJ Stewart who is 0 for 10.
UPDATE: JDM has "overall body soreness". Yeah, me too.

He just had cortisone injections for "back tightness" and will be sidelined for 3-5 days.
